Sevenoaks Area Mind announce a new mutual support group for parents and carers of children with an Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) including Autism and Asperger Syndrome. The ASD Carers Support Group will meet at our Sevenoaks centre on Mondays from 10am – 11:30am, starting on 20 May.
The period leading up to and after an ASD diagnosis for a child can be a very challenging, bewildering and emotional time for parents and carers. Mums from our support groups who have been through this have recognised the need locally for a mutual support group for others in a similar situation. This new group will offer a relaxed, friendly and confidential place to share experiences and feelings with carers and parents who have had similar experiences.

You’re invited to share your views on Tuesday 14 May, after which we’ll be holding an event on World Mental Health Day on 10th October 2013 to share our findings with some of our key local decision makers and service providers.

We will be holding two sessions on Tuesday 14 May at Sevenoaks Area Mind, you can choose to attend either the morning session, 1:00pm to 4:00pm, or the evening session 5:30pm to 8:30pm.
